Thank you all for your kind words! I also have fond memories of being neighbors! Late nights on the trampoline laughing til Dad bellowed and everyone ran home! Mom letting us girls sneak out and you and your buddies out waiting for us! All good times. Oxford/Stanford won’t see those times ever again!
Thanks again for your thoughts!

Barbara and family. I will always have fond memories and the fun times spent in the backyard jumping on the trampoline on Oxford. It was really nice to have lived on the same street and knowing your family. I will always remember going to Dee’s flowers to get a gift and saying hello to “Mr. Sabo” and “Mrs. Sabo” as I always called them. They were great people, you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Ted and Kelly Vinci

I was so shocked when I read about Dee. Just saw her at Blue Men. She was one wonderful lady who was liked by all. She was a beautiful florist and loved what she did. I will miss seeing her out and about with Sally. My sincere love and sympathy to all of her family. Love from Midge

So sorry, will be missed by all that knew her. She was great lady and great friend to me. First time I met her I was 16 dropping off plants for JimCo, our friendship grew from there. Rest in peace Ma Mike
